Explanation:

Though river capture is a natural process, but it does not take place in all circumstances rather it requires certain necessary conditions.One of the condition include that there should be relatively narrow valley so that water may not spread in the otherwise wide and flat valleys and there should be low sediment so that the river may resort to resort to active erosion etc.
